Update:
Happy to say that I'm losing fat and seeing it go away slowly. Had to change my diet by a tiny bit which fixed everything. I am actually seeing results now.
Lessons learnt:
Meal+coke = not a good option.
Loads of pizza = not a good option either.
knew this but saw the results just now on how much it can matter.

Looks great man! What was the 195 x 5? Miss a rep? If so, no worries. Completely natural on this loading pattern.
Even so, looks like you rebounded, on the last set...

I think I didn't rest completely between 185 and 195. Didnt want to perform a quarter squat so just skipped the whole 6th rep, thought I ran out of energy.
Rested properly and then did my last set.
I was running out of time as well.
this workout wasn't as heavy so i'm going back today (after a day's break) and I feel like doing some cleans and presses and some HIIT cardio. What is your suggestion?
Is it ok for me to add clean and press to my schedule when i'm using GLP for bench press and squats?

Lineux, happens to the best of us...something I like trying to do when that happens is a "pause rep". It basically is when you fail to complete a full rep, you wait for a few seconds, maybe 10 or 15 to regain some strength and then attempt the rep again...in most cases, you can usually do it with a little difficulty...I personally believe it helps to build up strength and increase stamina, but I don't have any definitive proof of it...

Adding the clean and press is going to take a LOT out of you.
I'd proceed with caution. The caveat is always this; You may add it, IF you can recover from it and ONLY IF, you can recover from it...

Thank you matter2003, I believe you are correct. But for some reason I don't do it any more. I should consider doing a pause rep from now on.

I did it ! coudln't stop my self from doing it. Now lets see how long it takes for me to recover. I did the exercise yesterday and I'm pretty much recovered already. But my traps are very sore. I'll give it a day and then move on with my Bench press (GLP). I think Clean and press could be best positioned after bench press day so then there will be rest till the squats day and then more rest till the next bench press day and so forth.
And a note to every one whos reading. From experience, green tea is helping me keep healthy and lose fat. I think its the combine effort of HIIT and green tea.
Cheers!

Nice work man...
Now, the true test is if you hit all your GLP reps/sets. Best of luck!

GREAT work, man!
Now if you find yourself struggling on the last set or two of GLP, save the pullovers/other movements for AFTER GLP/the big barbell lift.
Much, much easier to complete the loading pattern that way...
